Word 2016 Track Changes User Guide

This Word 2016 Track Changes User Guide is intended to provide you with all the information
necessary for reviewing the changes made to your edited document.

When you receive your document from us, you will find that it has been marked up using the Track
Changes feature of Microsoft Word. The instructions provided here will walk you through the steps of how to move from the marked-up,
Track Changes version to the final, clean version by accepting and rejecting the changes and removing the inline comments.

Step 1: Reveal the Review Panel

Click on the Review tab located at the top of the screen.

Step 2: Choose How You'd Like to View Your Document

In the toolbar that appears, you’ll see a menu toward the middle with four options: Simple
Markup, All Markup, No Markup, and Original.

Choose All Markup to view your original document with the editor's changes and
inline comments distinguished in red and blue. Insertions will be in blue within the text, while deletions will be in red with a line
through them (strikethrough), and comments will appear in balloons in the right margin, with lines indicating where they refer in
the text.

[NOTE: The colors and font styles of insertions and deletions, and the colors and locations of comments
may vary depending on your computer's settings.

Step 3: Accept or Reject Changes

[NOTE: Before moving on to this step, make sure the Track Changes button
in the middle of the Review panel is not highlighted. If it is highlighted, any changes you make to the document will appear in color, as
if they, too, were tracked changes. In the image below, the Track Changes button is highlighted.]

Before proceeding, make sure you have selected All Markup as described in Step 2.

Use the Previous and Next arrows to highlight each insertion,
deletion and comment one by one.

Once an insertion or deletion is highlighted, decide whether you want to incorporate it into the
document. If you want to accept the change, click the Accept button and the change will be accepted into
the document. If you prefer to reject the edit and keep the text as it was in the original, simply click the Reject button
.

If you would like to accept or reject all changes in the document all at once, click the
arrow beneath the Accept or Reject button, and select Accept All Changes or Reject All Changes,
respectively. The image below shows the option of accepting all changes.

[NOTE: If a lot of text has been inserted or deleted, you may find it helpful to click the Reviewing
Pane button .
This will give you the option to view the full lines of text that have been inserted or deleted. The Reviewing Pane is open horizontally at the bottom of
the screen in the example below.]

Step 4: Read and Remove Comments

Comments are located in the right margin (depending on your computer's settings). These comments include
our explanations, questions and feedback your document. They are intended to point out areas of concern, or perhaps even issues we were not
able to correct, for you to address. Each comment points to the text to which it corresponds. See the example below.

Once you have read a comment and are ready to delete it, simply right click on it and select
Delete Comment from the pop-up list, as shown in the image below.

If you would like to delete all comments in the document all at one time, click on the arrow below
the Delete button and select Delete All Comments in Document, as shown below.

Step 5: Save Your Work

Once you have finished accepting and rejecting changes and have deleted all the comments, save your
work!
